In Norway, a 35-meter bonfire was lit in honor of the summer solstice
This tradition in Ålesund, a city on the North Sea coast, has been going on for several years.

In the Norwegian city of Ålesund, the traditional celebration of the summer solstice took place. The main event was the lighting of the gigantic Slinningsbålet bonfire, 35 meters high.

The structure, made of wooden pallets, was manually erected by local residents over several weeks.
This year’s 35-meter-tall wooden pallet bonfire is part of the annual Slinningsbålet tradition in Ålesund, Norway.

Every year, locals build and light it to celebrate St. Hans Eve (Midsummer Eve), creating one of the world’s tallest bonfires.
